Bible; John 11:25-26
Jesus says I am the resurrection and the life.
As Jesus said, because He resurrected after three days of burial, our salvation can be completed, and it can be seen that God's plan to save us has been completed.
Resurrection is a Greek word (anastasis, ajnavstasi"), and its meaning is that of being resurrected as an incorruptible spirit body that never dies, and that the dead receive new life and rise again.
The important thing is that the Christian resurrection does not mean that the Christian's body is resurrected to the same state as it was in the original state before death, just as Lazarus rose to life four days after he died, but a new creation that was sown with a rotten body (dyed) and resurrected with a spiritual body. is the resurrection of (John 11:25-26, 1 Corinthians 15:43-49, 2 Corinthians 5:17-19)
The tomb of Lazarus symbolizes the law of death written on stones, and it symbolizes the death and resurrection of the Lord on the cross. (2 Corinthians 3:6-7, Galatians 3:13)
In the resurrection, the present resurrection is the most important thing, and only faith that expresses the body of the resurrection as the heart of Christ and the character and personality of Jesus participates in the resurrection of the life of Jesus. (2 Corinthians 6:1-2)
Resurrection in reality means an afterlife, spiritual work, and eternity after death. (Luke 20:34-38)
Therefore, in order to be spiritually united with Jesus Christ, to reach the resurrection from the dead, and to know the power of the resurrection and the participation in suffering, we must first imitate the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The present resurrection of the saints does not refer to a simple body, but means a change in the source of the inner whole personality, whole personality, and spirit, and water baptism is the burial of the old man with Christ. It speaks of the way to the transformation of the character of the glory of the resurrection of Christ by linking each day with self-denial and self-cross. (Luke 9:23, Romans 6:4-11, Philippians 3:10-21)
There have been great signs in the past, but the sign that the whole world must believe is the cross and resurrection.
Therefore, despite these signs, he taught that those who do not believe have greater wrath than those of any age, because God cannot show a greater sign in this, and the greatest signs are death and resurrection on the cross, and at the same time oppose and believe in the signs. He said that there will be great woe to those who do not do so on the Day of Judgment, and despite the fact that they testified of the cross, the age of those who oppose this is an evil and adulterous age.
(Matthew 12:38-45, Luke 11:29-36)
The resurrection of Jesus is the completion of the salvation of the grace of the cross of atonement, the absolute victory, the last hope of the saints, the change of heart as life, the way of true church unity, the resurrection of the power to destroy the ruler of death. , the resurrection of the power to set us free from the slavery of death, the resurrection of the power to change our hearts, the resurrection of the power to become the first fruits of resurrection, and the resurrection of the power to lead us to the path of eternal life.
Only the resurrection of the Lord is the power that unites heaven and earth, the power that the spirit and body become one, the power that eternity and time become one, the power that becomes one with the absolute, and the power of love and life that overcomes sin, death, and the law. It is the power to die completely, to live anew, and to save the lives of others. It is truly the power to overcome death.
“The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.”
Here, the dead refer to all those whose pride, that is, instinct, was not buried with the Lord on the cross, and in order to participate in the resurrection of the Lord's life, they must be judged by the Counselor of the Holy Spirit of truth (Matthew 8:22, John). 5:25, John 16:11)
